WhatsApp’s Modern Family ad fires shots at iMessage and RCS

Apple confirmed last week what we've been expecting: iOS 18 will bring RCS support to the iPhone this year, finally ending the blue vs. green chat bubble drama. In fact, some iOS 18 beta 1 users enabled an early version of RCS that is working on the iPhone right now. RCS on iPhone will not be similar to Google's version of RCS, as Apple will support the carrier standard instead.

I've been telling you for years that a texting app like WhatsApp is a better alternative for cross-platform messaging.
